Classy, luxurious and elegant - these three words best describe Hotel Céleste. It is a boutique hotel in Makati City that is a classic example of how a boutique hotel should be. It offers sophisticated guest rooms and superb personalized service to meet the most discriminate taste of its valued clientele. Truly, Hotel Céleste is a boutique hotel designed to redefine what luxury is!
There are many hotels in the Philippines that also offer superb accommodation, top-notch amenities and highly-commendable customer service. But what sets Hotel Céleste (Check rates online) apart from other hotels is offering its guests an "experience" one would never forget.
Last month, I was able to experience that luxury boutique accommodation Hotel Celeste offers. Upon arrival at the hotel, I was totally mesmerized with its stylish architecture characterized with modern European designs.
The moment we stepped-in inside its lavish lobby, I was instantly amazed with its cozy furnishings, marble flooring, elegant sofas, vibrant-colored paintings and stylish decors accentuating the lobby. It makes full use of lights which certainly makes a engaging and warm welcome for the hotel guests.
We were hospitably welcomed by their very pleasant and lovely staff and greeted us with a warm smile.
While waiting to be checked-in, we were offered with cold welcome drinks. Since we already have our reservation, checking-in was fast and efficient. I think, it only took less than 10 minutes. Even before I finished my drink, we were already assisted with our luggage by the hotel staff and ushered us to our room.
Deluxe Room
I am totally at awe when we entered our room. My jaw dropped when I saw how spacious and elegant our room is. JUST WOW!!!
Hotel Céleste has two room categories: Deluxe and Suite Rooms (Check rates online). Ours is a Deluxe Room that measures about 25 sqm., available in single and double occupancy configurations.
The room's interior is characterized with modern-European theme offering a distinct and memorable accommodation experience like no other. Every nook and cranny of the room has been tastefully filled with elegant and classy furniture and decors that will surely be a delight to every guest.
Our room has two single-sized bed complemented with elegant headboard, plush white sheets, soft duvets and super fluffy feather pillows. I quickly tried it and my back loved it! I felt like I was melting into the bed. Woohoo!
Complete with all the much-needed amenities to make every guest's stay as comfortable as it can ever be, all rooms are equipped with high-definition flat-screen television set with cable channels, telephone, work desk, breakfast nook, en suite toilet and bath, complimentary wireless Internet access, cabinet, safety deposit box, luggage rack and a mini bar with a refrigerator filled with drinks and complimentary bottled water. There's also a coffee/tea making equipment which I really like.
Then I checked on the toilet and bath. I was speechless when I saw how lovely it is. Whoa! There's a walk-in shower area with hot and cold rain shower feature, clean and sanitized water closet with bidet spray, clothes and towel hanging area, hair dryer, telephone, a lavatory with a wide mirror and all the toiletries were provided. This is indeed a haven for those who spend a lot of time in the bathroom. I wish, there's also a tub! Haha!
I loved the high-quality L’Occitane toiletries which include shampoo, conditioner, shower gel and body lotion. There are also quality bath soaps, vanity, shaving and dental care kits. Fresh and soft body, hand and face towels were also provided. What else can I ask for? It's so impressive! For me, it is very important to have a toilet and bath that is clean and well organized. Hotel Céleste did not disappoint me; from the sink to the water closet, to the shower enclosure, they are all clean and smells fresh.
With these luxurious room amenities, guests will surely have a comfortable and awesome stay at Hotel Céleste that they'll end up just staying inside the comforts of their room. Oh, well, that's what we did the whole afternoon! Haha!
Other Rooms
Hotel Céleste is a 30-room boutique hotel categorized into Suite and Deluxe Rooms, each having its own character and offers facilities and amenities that suit the varying needs of its valued guests. Assisted by one of the hotel staff, we were able to see two of the five Suite Rooms.
Suite Rooms measure about 40-48 sqm. It offers a separate living room area, a bedchamber, a dining area, a kitchen and a large marble tiled bathroom with stand alone bath tub. What I love most are the hand-painted walls, custom-made fixtures and the large windows combined with the nice wooden floor which gives the Suite Room a warm and cozy residential feel.
Here's a peek at what to expect if you decide to stay in one of their Suite Rooms:
F&B Service
Hotel Céleste's in-house restaurant is located at the ground floor. Lucia Ristorante is a semi-fine dining restaurant that offers a wide selection of authentic Italian cuisines and a wide range of premium Italian wines. This is where we ate during our entire stay. I will write a separate post on this later.
The buffet breakfast that comes with every booking is served at Bistro Lucia from 6:00 AM to 10:00 AM. Though the selection is limited, it is composed of carefully selected and well-cooked dishes. The food were good and we were satisfied with the breakfast we had. What a great way to start your day is to relish on good food!
WIFI Internet Connection
Wireless internet connection is available almost anywhere in the hotel. Connection is fast, reliable and the best thing is - it's free! For someone who always needs to be online, this is really an awesome treat!
Open Deck Area
Located at the top-most floor is an open deck venue that could accommodate a maximum 70-80 persons. It is an ideal venue for social gatherings, small company events, intimate wedding receptions and family celebrations.
It also offers a very nice view of the city at night. Isn't lovely?
Function Room
Also located at the roof deck is the function room which is a perfect venue for social and corporate meeting events. It is also complete with today’s advanced audio and visual equipment, making it a perfect meeting venue in Makati City.

As an added pampering to its guests, Hotel Céleste also provides complimentary foot and leg massage which we availed before we sleep. It lasts about 15 minutes and it is really relaxing! What a perfect way to cap our day!
